How long do I have to sue over property damage in Illinois?
Answered for: Illinois
to recover damages for an injury done to property, real or personal, or to recover the possession of personal property or damages for the detention or conversion thereof ... shall be commenced within 5 years next after the cause of action accrued.
In Illinois you have 5 years to sue over property damage. When that clock starts, and whether anything can pause it, are separate questions this entry does not answer.
This answer is true in Illinois and nowhere else on this site. Another jurisdiction is another answer, or an honest gap: see what has been read for Illinois.
